Governor Scott was courteous, but non?
committal. He said be was glad
to Bee gentlemen from Charleston at any
time, but could not say what would be done
with the bills complained of. Senator Nash,
of the Senate finance committee, thought that

ing, burs waa skeptical and sarcastic as to the
probable result. No promise could be ob?
tained from the House committee of ways and
means, the chairman, w. J. Whipper, being

the Inspector-Aa Elaborate Proposi?
tion.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
COLUMBIA, S. C., February 21.
With the exception of the introduction in
?each branch of the General Assembly of one
or two bills of some Importance the legislative
proceedings to-day have been devoid of In?
terest. In the Senate Ur. Smalls introduced
another bill "to provide tor the appointment
of au Inspector of phosphates, and to declare
bis du les." Mr. Smalls was the chairman of
the committee lately engaged in Charleston in
looking info the charges of fraud against the
phosphate companies, and ever since this
odoriferous Investigation he has been propos?
ing legislative action looking to the supervi?
sion of these companies and bringing them to J
book generally. Some weeks ago he offered a I
bill which provided for an Inspector of phoV I
phates, who was to visit all the works at
?stated intervals, keep a record of the quantity I
of phosphates mined, look after the Slate
royally of one dollar per tonaud to receive ten
per cent, of this amount for his services. That I
bill ls still on the Senate calendar but now its I
author brings forward anotoer bili, which ex
tends the supervisory powers of the prospec
tire inspector to guanos und all other com?
mercial fertilizers, upon which he ls to re-1
.celve fifty cents per ion tn addition :o the ten

In the House, almost the entire session was

cussion was finally cut short by the adjourn?
ment. The committee on privileges aud elec?
tions fulfilled one of the predictions made in
this correspondence a lew days ago, by report?
ing favorably upon Jervey's new eleeilon law.
a short synopsis of which was given at the time
of Its introduction. As it is not improbable
that this bill may pass the House, and per?
haps meet also the approval of tue Senate,
the following additional details of Its contents
may be ol' 1 merest: The bill requires the gen?
eral ?lections to be held on the third Wednes?
day of October, in every second year. Three
commissioners of election for each county are
lo be elected by the General Assembly and to
receive three dollars per day while actualiy
employed, and ten cents per mlle for neces?
sary travel. These commissioners are to ap?
point three managers of election for each
election precinct, at two dollars per day and
mileage, and each board is allowed tu ap?
point one clerk, at the same pay as the mana?
gers. Polls are to be kept open from 6 A.M.
to 6 P. M., and all bar-rooms are to be closed,
and all sale of liquor prohibited from six
o'clock of the evening preceding the election
to six o'clock of the morning following the
same. The eleventh and thirteenth sections
are important, and are BA follows :
SEC. ll. Tne commissioners of elections
shall provide one box lor each election pre?
cinct. An opening shall be made in the lld of
the box, not larger than shall be sufficient for
a single ballot to be inserted therein at one
time, through which each ballot received,
proper to be placed In such box, shall be in?
serted by the oerson voting, and by no other.
Each box shall be provided with a sufficient
lock, and said box shall be publicly opened
and inspected, to see tbat lt ls empty and

the opening of the poll, and the keys' re?
tained by the managers, and shall not be

"circuit" and "county officers."
SEC. 13. At the close ol the election the
managers and clerk shall Immediately pro?

shall require. If, in counting, two or
more ballots shall be found folded to?
gether compactly, the same shall be des*
iroyed, and not counted. If more ballots
shall be found, on opening the box. than
lhere are names ou the poll list, all the ballots

agers, or one of them, to be designated in
writing by the board, shali deliver to the
commissioners ot elections the poll list and a

tion in his precinct. . .
The remainder ot the bill ls occupied mainly
with denning the duties of the board of State
canvassers which Is to consist of the secretary
of State, comptroller-general, attorney-gene?
ral. State auditor, State treasurer, adjutant
and Inspector-genera), and the chairman of
the committee on privileges and elections ol

ANSWERING LETTERS.-A great many people
In this country are shamefully negligent about
answering letters. Nothing is more annoy?
ing. lu European countries lt ls regarded as
the height of ill-breeding to allow a letter
which needs a reply to go unanswered, and f-o
lt ought to be considered here. This is a point
on which parents should lay great streps to
their children. They should be taught to con?
sider lt as rode not to reply to a leiter whl- h
need* attention as to hand a fork with the
prong end. The busiest people are generally
those who are most exact in tbl9 respect
The late DukeJCf Wellington,, who. lt will be
admitted, had a good deal on his hands at
different times of hts life, replied to every let?
ter, no matter from how humble a source.
Once a clergyman who lived In a distant part of
the kingdom wrote to hie grace, on whom
neither he nor his parish had a shadow of
claim, to beg for a subscription to rebuild a
church. By return ofmall there came back a
letter from the Duke to the effect that he real?
ly could not see why In the world he should
have been applied to for such an object; but
the parson sold the letter as an auihograph,
tor ?6, and put the Dukedowr? for that amount
among the subscribers..

INDIGNAIT ALBION.
ENGLISH. FEELING IN REGARD TO ]
THE YANKEE DEMANDS.
Indifference to American Opinions-The
Withdrawal from Arbitration Cer?
tain if the American Claim* arc Main,
taincd- Anxiety to Conciliate the
Opinion of Europe.
[Correspondence of the New York Tribune.]
LONDON*, February s.
We are still almost without news of what
jon are thinking aud saying about the Eng?
lish withdrawal from the treaty. Uulil within
a very few days lt hardly seemed to ocour to
the British public to inquire how America j
might take lt. The papers were se much oc?
cupied In proving that they had an undeniable
right to retire from an arbitration their own j
government had proposed, that they had Utile ]
leisure, apparently less inclination, to specu?
late on the possible American view of their
proceedings. I have been asked In conversa?
tion, it is true, what the effect was likely to
be in the United States, btu In every case my
suggestion that lt was conceivable that we j
mignt resent a violation of the treaty, and
that, at all events, we should probably con?
sider lt an act ot bad faith, has been received
with profound surprise. Uni il Saturday lt
did not seem lo occur to any of the news?
papers that the Atlantic cable might supply
positive Information about ihe state of opinion
In America, and that a very little positive in?
formation would be more valuable than a
great deal of ingenious sp?culation.
The truth ls, I suppose, that pr?vale advices,
and especially b?nkers' telegram3, had sup?
plied the Stock Exchange with all the infor?
mation lt needed; and the general public is of
lesa consequence. Men, whose fortune de?
pended upon it. had learned from their Ameri?
can correspondents that the American press
had received the news ol Ihe suddeu outbreak
or British hostility to the treaty with singular
moderation, almost, I should Judge, with In?
credulity, or perhaps I should say without a mil
knowledge of the purposes entertained and
expressed in England. Why you should not
have known last week that, according to
the declarations of semi-official papers, the
British Government was about to. give
notice lt would not go on wlih the arbitra?
tion, it is not easy to conjecture. With the
exception of a valuable dispatch io the Daily
News, the telegrams from your side have been
very vague. The correspondent of the Daily
News informs us that Mr. Fish has contradicted
the statement, telegraphed from London, that
negotiations for the suspension of the Geneva
Arbitration have been opened between Eng?
land and America; adding that no such action
is anticipated by the United States Govern?
ment, and that no apprehension is expressed
of a rupture ot the treaty. As I cannot doubt
the accuracy of the latter statement, I am
driven to wonder what kind ci Information
you have been receiving from this side. As I
wrote last week, there ls a demand well nigh
universal from the press and ?rom the public
In general that England shall refuse to
?o on with the Arbitral ion unless* the
ni tel States withdraws all claims for
Indirect injuries. From the language of
the Dally Telegraph and Dally News and
other papers likely to be accurately in?
formed, it has been Inferred, and ls to-day
assumed as a fact, that the English .Govern?
ment has addressed a communication in that
sense lo our government. So much has been
understood tn London for some days. As to
Secretary Fish's contradiction, that 1B easily
explicable on the theory that Lord Granville
did not send his dispatch to Slr Edward Thorn- j
ton until Friday or Saturday, and that it was
not received by Slr Edward lu season to be
read by Mr. Fish on Saturday. What ls not ex?
plicable is that you should have been left in
Buch Ignorance of the language used here last
week as to anticipate no alfflculty. The qnes-1
lion may not seem Important, but lu my judg?
ment lt ls Important, because so much turns
on public opinion, and public opinion on either
side is at tho mercy of tho cable dispatches. \
As to t he feeling here, I need not add much
to what I said on Saturday. It is impossible
to modify or soften that account. People do
sincerely hope that you will not be very
angry, but thc fear of your anger does not
seem likely to affect their resolution. Things
have gone too far. The government has
allowed, if not encouraged, an ebullition of
popular feeling which may be stronger than
they desired, out which ia no longer within
their control. If they don't meet Parliament
thl? week with an explicit declaration that
they have given notice to the United States
Government of their (mention lo renounce ar?
bitration unless the remote claims are
abandoned, they will be driven from
office. I do not give that as my
opinion only; I am repeating what one
of their staunch friends said to me on Sat- ?
urday. Perhaps I quoted him lu Saturday's
letier. If the papers afford any Index at all
to the siate ol' public feeling, you cannot
form any other opinion than inls. Their tone
to-day ls perhaps a little more reflective, a
little graver; there is a gleam of coming con?
sciousness that the possible result ot this out?
break may be more serious than they Imag?
ined; but they are as firm as ever. There is
no hint of a disposition to recede. There ls.
on ihe other hand, a manifest anxiety to stand
well with European opinion. There ls. per?
haps, a sudden consciousness that ihe lan?
guage they have used has been needle.-sy
violent, and a desire that somebody
would assure them that it was only
earnest. The Times, which ls still
the most moderate of ail tbe great J
journals, declares that it can appeal lo
every dispassionate and neutral foreigner
whrther lhere has been any unseemly vio?
lence on this Hide the Atlantic in reference to
the probable suspension of proceedings under
the trealy. But its appeal ls too general.
Limit lt to lld own columns, and the dispas?
sionate and neutral foreigner may lah ly give
ihe verdict it seeks. I am very far from be?
ing neutral, but I repeat what I said last week,
that the leading Journal of England, while
taking a line which I think deplorably wrong,
has. nevertheless abstained from offence, and
laid Its hands on the treaty with visible reluc?
tance I repeat it because The Times ls a great
power for good or for evil, and in Amer?
ica is deemed lo be a greater pow?
er than it is. I do not suppose it has
any more love for us than lt used to have.
But it plainly does not want an open quarrel,
does not want a war, that is, If one can be
averted. In its dislike to that, it represents,
I am sure, the Immense majority of the Eng?
lish people. It represents ihem also in their J
d?termination to renounce this arbitration
even at the cost of what they so much
dislike. The alarm about our claims may
seem to us very absurd. The willingness
to sacrifice the treaty rather than submit I
to claims which they regard as preposter?
ous and eure tobe rejected, may seem boih
absurd and dishonest. It does seem so to me,
but what we Americans think about lt will not j
and cannot aller thu fact. The situation ls felt
io be very grave. People have grown sober
about it. There ls Intense anxiety, which I
share, to know precisely what this govern?
ment has said to ours, and what answer will
be sent back, and whether the outburst of I
English feeling U to provoke a similar out?
burst of American feeling. Hardly anything
else will be seriously talked about this week,
even In Parliament where there are plenty ol
other serious subject? to come up.
TUESDAY, February 6.-The fact of the send-1
In? i f the dispatch, of which Mr. Fish was lu
ignorance on Saturday, is asserted' this morn?
ing lu words that dispel all doubt, if doubt
there were. HB transmission Is put promlnentlv
forward lu the Times as a reason for postpon?
ing the expected debate in Parliament. .'If "
says that Journal, "Mr. Gladstone and Lord
Granville should deprecate a discussion of ihe
point In dispute pending the receipt of a re?
ply from Washington to the dispatch already
forwarded, they will certainly be supported
by Mr. Disraeli and the Duke of Richmond;
nor will the most mutinous ol'lhelr own nomi?
nal adherents be disposed to embarrass them
in the conduct ol so critical a negotiation." No
doubt, but it cannot be supposed that discus?
sion will be deferred unless the ministerial
declaration be explicit enough to countenance
the asseverations as to Ihe character of the dis?
patch already made in those Journals, which
are supposed to ?peak for them. Nor ls ihat
decoration Just now the most essen i lal part
of the situation. The answer from America Is
the essential thing; the answer of the press
not less than that of the government. There
1* not a line trom New York, in this morning's,
papers. I presume there has been a delay on V
the cable, and that telegrams did not arrive In 1
season to be published In the regular editions.
Be that as ft maj, people are beginning, I
thins-, to undersland that they have not heard
the genuine echo of all their passionate
protestations and high resolve. For my
part I should be content If, for the next
few weeks, no cable were in existence. The
facility for rapid Intercourse is too great, and
just now rapidity ls a thing quite undesirable,
if Lord Granville could only write to Slr Ed?
ward Thornton by steamer and Slr Edward
was instructed to send his reply by the same
conveyance, there would be much leas likeli?
hood of a rupture. There would be less haz?
ard of a display of "firmness? and swift retort
upon "able statements," and all those Inci?
dents of skilled diplomacy out of which:so
many a pretty quarrel bas been needlessly fos?
tered.

Determined to Murder-Unparalleled
VUlan>--Firing After a Train.
Moss NECK, Robeson County, N. C., )
February 16,1871. f
Henry Berry Lowry, the notorious outlaw,
and bis confederates have been holding' a
carnival here for two days, sleeping at a store
near the railroad station. When the down
train for Wilmington arrived here to-day they
had a barrel of cider rolled outot the store, and
were treating a large crowd. They were partic?
ularly active In inviting (?) the passengers out
ot the cars to drink, familiarly lapping several
of them on the shonldeis and shaking their
hands. When Lowry was told that be had
better keep a good lookout, or some one
would kill him or some of the gang for the re?
wards offered by the State, he replied that
"any one who might kill bim or any of the
gang could never prove that he bad done the
killing; a'l (hey asked was to be let alone, and
they would leave everybody else alone; If they
wanted provisions the; would go whore they
could be obtained; if they had money they
would pay for them; If not they would de?
mand them and take them." They were, be
Bald, determined; to kill one man, who was
travelling .backwards and forwards on the
train. -They had .warned him several times
not to come up. here, "and," continued
he, "we would' have killed bim yes?
terday right In the car, lt it had hot been for
the number of ? ladles who were in lt."
While he was saying this the Individual whom
they had doomed waa at that very moment
crouched under a seat In the rear car. He
has Incurred the terrible anger of the out?
laws, from the fact that he volunteered last j
winter as the executioner of Oxendine, one
ot their gang who was hung at Lumbertoo.
They told the conductor that if he came, up
here again they .would murder him right on
the train.' AB the train moved Off they saluted
the conductor In military style, and took a de?
liberate aim at the train with their rifles, and
continued to fire until lt waa beyond gunsaot
distance. The audacity of these oui laws out
Herods Herod and is unparelled in the history
of any State. This man whom they have
threatened, ls known in Wilmington by the
name of Frank Marsden, and 19 a sallor-board

whom the b tisis ess is a bard and painful neces- I
Blty, to which they were pre-ordained and
commanded, and which must be fulfilled.
About Dlneteen out of twenty ol the waltzing
couples I have seen, served their generation
In this variety ot service, sad, serious and
sorry, but brave. 2. i here are tho;e to whom
the ii .ince is a line art, who enter upon it as I
?ri ist.?, glad to carry out perfectly a system of j
invention, which because lt ls exwting lo socie?
ty, it Is well lor them LO sustain absolutely well.
These people do not bave the agonized look of
the first class; they are pleased with them?
selves, which ia something, and they are worth
Bludy, as illustrating one more foim of har?
mony caBt in action. The third variety-moal?
ly Germans by nationally-are people who
are thoroughly happy, unconscious and at ease
as they dance. They dance as the thistle,
down floats, which we boys used to call
zephyr. Wnen you see their unconsciousness
and tvully childish simplicity in Hie matter,' lt I
ls hard lo frown at waltzing, or find any wrong
in lt_Old and New.

AN INSTANCE OF RARE NERVE AND HEROISM.
Donn Platt tells the following touching story
of bow a lire was-saved : "A Sunday-school
superintendent out in Alaska treated his en?
tire charge to a sleigh ride. There were
Just forty-one of the cherubs and a six
horse sleigh. On the way home they
were beset by a pack of wolves. Cool
and collected in-that hour of fearful trial,
the heroic superintendent at aglance saw that
he must be overtaken. Io un Instant his
quick mind grasped the only chance of escape.
Seizing the child that always sang -I want to
be an angel' two notes loo high, he flu og it to
the rapacious horde. It. stayed their onward
rush for a moment. Next came the urchin
who never brought any pennies for the
heathen. And so on swept the pursued and
the pursuers, until the last infant was ex?
hausted. But the brave fellow had econo?
mized his material nobly. He was. saved."
